| Exemption Exam: IDIS-110
satisfies the RIT core requirement. There is also
an exemption
exam that allows you to test out of this
requirement. |
| Weekly schedule: We
will meet once per week for class and laboratory
activities on SB-372. I'll distribute homework
projects during the labs, which will be due at the
beginning of the following class period. |
|
Grading: I will compute your final grade as follows:
- 10% Weekly, in-class labs
- 20% Weekly projects
- 30% Quizes
- 20% Final Exam
- 20% Final Project
You will receive points both for your individual work
on the weekly projects as well as on your
participation in the lab exercises. For the labs, we
will, generally speaking, have some sort of checkoff
or deliverable at the end of the lab period that will
verify your participation. |
| The Programming
Environment: In general, the systems work
will be done using standard campus-wide technologies,
available either in the lab or in other labs across
campus. |
Attendance: I
will not grade you on class attendance. If you do
have to miss a class for any reason, I'd appreciate it
if you let me know so we can review the material and
activities to be covered in the missed
session. |
Disabilities:
Calvin will make reasonable accommodations for you if
you have documented disabilities. Notify the
Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities
located in the Student Academic Services, HH 455, and
also notify me within the first two weeks of
class. |
Incompletes: I
will give an incomplete grade (I) only in unusual
circumstances and only if those circumstances have
been confirmed by the Student Life office. |
Individual Work:
Your weekly projects and your final project will be
done individually. Feel free to discuss ideas with
your classmates or with me, but don't copy in any way.
If I detect any plagiarism, I'll be forced to give a
failing grade on the homework and perhaps for the
course. |
Late Work: I will
clearly indicate a due date for all assignments.
Anything submitted up to one week after that date is
late, unless you have made prior arrangements with
me. For each late paper, you will be charged 10% for
each business-day that you are late. Thus, if a
homework is due on Friday, you may turn it in on
Monday at 10% off, Tuesday at 20% off and so on. I
will not generally accept papers more than one week
late, nor will I accept late papers at all if you have
attended the in-class discussion of the solution.
Please come and talk to me if there are exceptional
circumstances, and we'll work something
out. |
